Google updates AI capabilities for travel tools

Google has made key updates to
its travel tools, integrating artificial intelligence (AI) to increase
capabilities.

Google announced the changes in a blog post, which
included in-text video demonstrations of five new features.

One of the more significant updates is a new price tracking feature for
hotels—much like Google Flights—which is launching globally this week for both
mobile and desktop browsers.

Google Maps is also being updated with a new
“screenshot” list. When users enable the feature and give Google Maps access to
their camera roll, Gemini automatically finds and highlights places on the map
that it detected in saved screenshots.
